Very Good Chromebook - Watch Prices Carefully,
July 18, 2017 This review is from: Samsung Chromebook 3 XE500C13-K03US - 11.6 HD - Celeron N3060 - 4GB - 32GB SSD - Black (Personal Computers)
The Samsung Chromebook 3 in its best version... with 4gb of RAM and with a 32gb SSD for storage is a fine Chromebook. But, prices very wildly, from $150 and up... and up... so check prices carefully.
Having 4gb of RAM and 32gb of storage makes a big difference in performance compared with the Chromebook standard of 2gb of RAM and 16gb of storage. This is a Chromebook that goes beyond being a cheap laptop for students to being a high quality device for professionals who are traveling and who will benefit from its very light 2.5 pound weight and its nine hours of battery life.
The keyboard is firm and crisp, the track pad is smooth and precise and documents look sharp on the screen.
Some folks bring a $1,000 Apple laptop to a conference for taking notes. The Samsung will work equally well for taking notes and sending email at a fraction of the Apple price.
A quality machine at a great price,

A very capable and affordable Chromebook. The first Chrome OS update I did opened up access to all the Google Play android apps. Battery life is good, build quality is good, touchpad is good. It has a good keyboard. The number and types of ports are limited (expected in a small Chromebook) but they are adequate and fast.
